Barbara was dear friend and a joy to know for the 11 years she live in Lago Vista. She was the best neighbor we have ever known. We will remember her laughter and her pride telling stories about her family.

Remember the good times and the funny times. They will bring her close again.

To the Springer Family,

I went to high school with Barbara, and want to express my sincere sympathy. I spoke with Barb about five years ago, when we had our 50th Reunion. I believe she was out of town visiting family, was sorry she couldn't attend the reunion, but expressed how happy she was to be with family.

She and the entire family will be remembered in my prayers.
